Adrian Man Guilty In Deadly DUI Crash

Toledo (AP)  -- A Michigan man has pleaded no contest and was found guilty of charges in a wrong-way crash in Toledo, Ohio, that killed a mother and four children from Maryland.

Police say Michael Gagnon of Adrian, Mich., was driving drunk and in the wrong direction on a Toledo interstate Dec. 30 when his pickup truck hit a minivan filled with eight people coming home from a Christmas trip.

Police say Gagnon's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. He was found guilty Friday of five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of aggravated vehicular assault. He faces up to 50 years in prison.
